The Samoyed is a breathtakingly beautiful Spitz breed originating in Siberia, where these fluffy white dogs worked alongside the Samoyede people herding reindeer, pulling sleds, and keeping their families warm on frigid nights. Known for their brilliant white coat, perpetual "Sammy smile," and friendly, gentle disposition, Samoyeds are often called the world's happiest dogs. Their dark, sparkling eyes and upturned mouth give them an expression of pure joy.
